-Installation notes for MySQL on Mac OS X
-
-PLEASE READ!
-
-For more details about installing and running
-MySQL on Mac OS X, also refer to the manual,
-which is available online:
-
-http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Mac_OS_X_installation.html
-
-NOTE: Before proceeding with the installation, please
-make sure that no other MySQL server is running!
-
-Please shut down all running MySQL instances before
-continuing by either using the MySQL Manager
-Application (on Mac OS X Server) or via "mysqladmin
-shutdown" on the command line.
-
-This MySQL package will be installed into
-"/usr/local/mysql-<version>" and will also create a
-symbolic link "/usr/local/mysql", pointing to the new
-location.
-
-A previously existing /usr/local/mysql directory will
-be renamed to /usr/local/mysql.bak before proceeding
-with the installation.
-
-Additionally, it will install the mysql grant tables by
-executing "mysql_install_db" after the installation.
-
-If you are running Mac OS X Server, you already have a
-version MySQL installed. Make sure to read Apple's help
-about installing MySQL (Run the "Help View" application,
-select "Mac OS X Server help", and do a search for MySQL
-and read the item entitled "Installing MySQL").
-
-If you previously used Marc Liyanage's MySQL packages
-for MacOS X from http://www.entropy.ch, you can simply
-follow the update instructions given on his pages.
-
-After the installation (and restoring the old database
-files, if necessary), you can start up MySQL by running
-the following commands in a terminal window:
-
-  cd /usr/local/mysql
-  sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe
-  (Enter your password)
-  (Press CTRL+Z)
-  bg
-  (Press CTRL+D to exit the shell)
-
-You should now be able to connect to the MySQL server,
-e.g. by running /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
-
-If you installed MySQL for the first time,
-PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER!
-This is done with the following two commands:
-
-/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
-
-/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h $hostname password 'new-password'
-
-Please note, that after upgrading from MySQL 3.23 to
-MySQL 4.0 it is recommended to convert the MySQL
-privilege tables using the mysql_fix_privilege_tables
-script, since some new security privileges have been
-added.
-
-Please see
-http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html
-for more information on how to upgrade from MySQL 3.23.
-
-If you do not want to have to type the full path
-"/usr/local/mysql/bin" in front of every command, you
-can to add this directory to your PATH environment
-variable in your login script. For the default shell
-"tcsh", you can do this by running this command once:
-
-echo 'setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin' >> ~/.tcshrc
